According to a piece published by Medical News Today, If your pregnancy is normal, having sex is a natural and expected part of it. The baby is protected by your abdomen and the muscular walls of the uterus, so penetration and movement during an intimate encounter won't harm the child.
Here are some reasons why you shouldn't be afraid at all if you were under the impression that having sex while pregnant was harmful to your unborn child's health.
Aids blood circulation
According to Healthcare, To meet the needs of the mother and child, the blood supply doubles during pregnancy. One of the benefits of having sex while pregnant is improved circulation.
Sex restores the proper amount of oxygen and nutrition to the fetus to support growth and development with the release of hormones.
Speeds up post-partum recovery
Prenatal orgasms help to prepare the pelvic muscles for labour, which in turn hastens the postpartum healing process.
Induces labour and easy delivery
Since every woman wants an easy delivery, this is most likely the most crucial factor.
Regular sex during pregnancy aids in pelvic muscle contraction and cervix opening because having an orgasm causes your uterus to contract. With less difficulty during labour and no need for outside assistance to deliver the baby, this aids in a normal delivery.
Some medical professionals even advise having sex closer to your due date to start labour.
Reduces the risk of high blood pressure
It is always advantageous to have healthy blood pressure. But since high blood pressure is connected to the pregnancy complication preeclampsia, it's especially crucial if you're carrying a baby.
Reduces stress and pain
According to WebMD, even though pregnancy is typically a happy time, it's common to worry about things like work and how your life will change once your baby is born. You can reduce some of that stress and get better sleep by releasing more oxytocin, the hormone of love, during an orgasm.
